Let the Professionals Handle It – Why You Should Consider Hiring Haugland Brothers for Your Deck Staining Needs
Taking on the task of staining your deck yourself can be a fulfilling and satisfying project. Still, proper preparation and technique are required to ensure a beautiful and long-lasting finish. Here are some simple tips to help you thoroughly stain your deck:
- Clean the Surface: Remove any dirt, debris, and mildew from the deck using a deck cleaner and a stiff brush. This step ensures that the stain adheres properly to the wood.
- Sand the Deck: If your deck has rough or splintered areas, sanding can help smooth them out. Sanding also helps the stain penetrate the wood more effectively.
- Choose the Right Stain: Select a high-quality deck stain suitable for your deck’s wood type and desired finish. Consider a stain with UV protection to prevent fading.
- Apply the Stain Properly: Use a paint roller, brush, or sprayer to apply the stain evenly across the deck boards. For optimal outcomes, work on small sections at a time, following the natural grain of the wood.
- Allow for Proper Drying Time: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to allow the stain to dry completely before walking on or placing furniture on the deck.
